2. Mods and Mutators
3. Melee Weapons
4. Traits
5. Amulets and Rings

Ranged Weapons:

Long Gun

• Flexibility is key. Any long gun you feel comfortable using works. The effectiveness comes from your choice of mods and mutators, not just the weapon itself.

Handgun

•  Enigma is a top choice. It's effective for its area damage and continuous shock damage, ideal for taking down groups of enemies efficiently.

Alternative Handguns

•  Hellfire and Nebula are solid picks. They're similar to Enigma in dealing elemental damage and applying status effects but are slightly less effective against large groups of enemies.

Optimizing Weapon Mods and Mutators:

Mod #1:

• Choose between Hot Shot or Corrosive Rounds. Both add elemental effects to your bullets, enhancing damage over time. The best choice depends on your play style and the enemies you're facing.

Mod #2:

• Blood Draw is excellent for causing bleeding across multiple enemies, making it easier to weaken large groups quickly.

Mutator #1:

• Timewave not only slows down enemies, making them easier targets, but it also adds another layer of status effects to your arsenal.

Mutator #2:

• Maelstrom increases your weapon's elemental damage for each elemental status effect on your target, amplifying your damage output significantly.

Melee Weapon and Mutator Choice

Weapon:

• The Ritualist Scythe shines against enemies already suffering from negative status effects, making it an excellent finisher. You can check how to get this weapon in our guide here.

Mutator:

• Misfortune enhances your weapon damage for every unique negative status effect on a target, making it a powerful tool in prolonged fights.

Key Traits for the Ritualist:

• Expertise (reduces skill cooldown),
• Vigor (increases health to avoid one-shots),
• Amplitude (expands Miasma’s range),
• Barkskin (reduces incoming damage)
• Regrowth (counters bleed from Atonement Loop)
• Spirit (boosts mod power generation),
• Siphoner (provides life-steal)

These traits enhance your survival and damage capabilities, ensuring you can handle various combat scenarios.

Amulet and Ring Selections:

Amulet:

• Chains of Amplification increases your damage output against enemies with debuffs, making it a perfect match for the Ritualist's playstyle.

Rings

• Band of the Fanatic boosts the damage of your status effects. While it shortens the duration, the Ritualist's innate perks and other equipment can offset this downside.

•  Timekeeper’s Jewel is great for extending the duration of your status effects, making your debuffs last longer and cause more damage over time.
